Adopting their name from the Latin word for “truth”, the Seattle–and–Los Angeles-based alternative pop/rock band Veritas strives with each song to uncover the truths that lie within themselves and within the listener.
Forged in the vibrant Los Angeles indie rock scene in early 2007, Veritas presents a world seen through the band’s kaleidoscope of imagination and original point of view that is so roiling and mysterious it’s easy to forget it’s our world.
Veritas is fronted by Will Moore (vocals/guitars) and Jamie Rose (vocals/keyboards) who are also responsible for crafting the band’s quirky-yet-unforgettable songs. Moore, a British-trained musician and actor, spent the majority of his formative years moving around the U.S., Japan and United Kingdom developing his unique sense of style and musical sensibilities. Rose, whose captivating vocals and haunting keyboard tunes intertwine with Moore’s memorable guitar riffs, embodies much of the band’s artistic soul. Melodies are thrust forward on driving beats by bassist Thai “Thaiphoon” Dao (bass), an imposing on-stage figure whose Southern California-developed bass riffs belie a hint of his early upbringing in Kobe, Japan, and Chanel Summers (drums), one of that city’s most creative, energetic, and inspired drummers known as much for her fiery delivery as for her on-stage antics (and for her former role as a developer of the Xbox video game system). Completing the fusion of this team is Andrea Jasek, a fixture on the Seattle music scene. Jasek's driving rock guitar riffs and intense stage presence solidifies a position as the other half to Moore's guitar.
After developing its unique fusion of alt-rock, electronica, and experimentation suggestive of groups like Paramore, Muse and Shiny Toy Guns, Veritas relocated to Seattle in 2008 to begin work on “White Lies & Pretty Poisons”, its forthcoming debut album, recorded at historic Avast Studios by producer Len Hotrum (Point One, The Crying Spell) and legendary engineer Kelly Gray (Queensrÿche, Candlebox), and mixed by Jules Hodgson of KMFDM fame.
With a manic and unpredictable, crowd-pleasing stage show, songs that combine quirky yet poignant, clever yet emotion-drenched lyrics with playful harmonies, wicked guitar riffs, and fun, catchy melodies, Veritas is poised for crossover success.
